Disney World Faces Longest Shutdown In Its History Amid Coronavirus Pandemic | TODAY
I think Disney could afford to stay closed for a few years. They make more money a second than you will ever make in 80 lifetimes.
They still got merch online and disney +
I went to Disney with my family when I was 8 years old...I loved the Abraham Lincoln Robot but then left as he was taking all this slavery bull scheisse. Then I went into Swiss Family Robinson's tree house, got past security donut eating pin heads and climbed up the banana tree to the main room. I was shocked to see it was all fake,, At least I could of viewed Tarzan with my mother.
Justin Mcare wow
Well they also incure more costs in a second than you ever will in 80 lifetimes. Two sides of the coin
I remember this one ride I think it was Disney world or Orlando Florida but they had this studio where the audience will sit down and there will be a stage where this show will come to life i remember it was lilo and stitch and one thing I could never forget when he peed on every one in the audience I love that so much but I don’t think they have it
This "Last Minute Dash" Is Still Spreading The CoronaVirus. Great Work Americans
Like they haven’t made millions off the place already lmao
Billions
Trillions
But the people who work there don’t have millions.
@@notnyah104 they have 14 days off 100 percent paid and qaulify for unemployment for the next few months! That's more than enough to get by

First time i saw this quote was in cod mobile in order to get the quote you have to get more than 10 kills in battle royal mode
It’s called karma! That’s what happens when you jack the prices up so high that the average American family can’t afford to take their children. It’s really sad. Walt Disney’s dream was for every child to have chance to experience Disneyworld/Disneyland.
yep!
Haven't you ever heard of a little thing called "supply and demand"?
@@jasobres Liking your own comment, sad.
So true can't even take my kids there any more.. supposed to be fun for children s
Well so do Apples made in China? how about those products????? Will we still want to spend thousands?
This of us who are too poor for theme parks are completely unaffected by this news.
You're not missing anything except satanists, stay the course.
@@barbl8801 i went last year and accidentally got converted. Whoops 🥺
Last time we were there my daughter ended up with chicken pox (varicella). Its already a disease magnet there, but oh so fun!
Y’all are forgetting about the service workers who are out of the job. Disney and others will survive but the staff get paid so little that temporary closure will hurt a lot.
Disney world has made enough money if they never open again...
have you ever been to Disneyland
@@AnthonyJohnson-rd1rd McDonalds to her is Disneyland
couldn't agree more Joyce !
You know how many money they make a day
@@AnthonyJohnson-rd1rd yah go to Magic Mountain 😂😂
And this is why we can't have nice things.
OVERPRICED ANYWAY
Good stay home.
These comments either 1.Don't make sense, or 2. try to roast me, but miserably fail
That's not the point lol. There's always gonna be people trying to go so...
@@chelsealemonnn1811 I understand your sentiments sir, and I concur. Never have I seen a greater assemblage of belligerent ill educated stinkpots as are witnessed at theme parks.
You won't hear it from the merchants of doom, but 74,000 globally have recovered so far.
You must be pretty dumb considering how many people recover has nothing to do with the danger of this virus. It spreads faster than the flu so more people are infected faster which hospitals cant keep up with and dont have the lung equipment to save all those who could otherwise be saved.. As of now they are keeping up and the death rate is the same as the flu, but if hospitals are overwhelmed the death toll will spike rapidly due to lack of equipment.
These efforts to close things down are the only thing giving hospitals a shot at staying ahead of the new influx of patients, while still dealing with normal seasonal flu and other respiratory illnesses. Try to think about something other than your own specific situation. This isnt about you and your likelyhood of getting deathly sick. It's about keeping the elderly and underlying condition patients who could otherwise be saved, from dying needlessly.
Its life and death and Disney is talking about the money their losing. Perfect
It's all about money with Disney. They should have closed already
If you have any money please send it my way. You don't need it right? Message me so I can give you my address. I accept all forms of payment.
@@christopherg9391 you can't use money if you have no health. Ask Italy. Stay home with your loved ones and work later
They have made millions...Walt Disney opened their doors in October 16, 1923 to be exact...FILTHY RICH indeed...
0:38 nobody gon notice the “Rona Szn” shirt 😭 shoutout nelk
The last time I’ve been to an amusement park was last year at six flags😂I don’t even care about Disneyland it’s not even the same anymore.
I don’t mind at all. I can wait till July 18 when Avengers Campus opens. I’m sure this problem will be solved by then.
id love to have a theme park all to myself
In my country, TV duo Ant & Dec were supposed to take 300 people to Disney World for a special seaso finale program!
Are employees going to receive payment? Are they going to receive health care? How are we protecting the most vulnerable among us?
nope nope noooope nooope!!!! no work... NO PAY!!!!!
@@reggiebayard7223 It's amusing to see how excited you are about people experiencing poverty while facing a pandemic.
Let's hope everything will be fine soon. Need God's grace.
GOD'S GRACE? WHEN GOD ACTUALLY ALLOWS THIS TO FESTER😂😂😂GOD IS A MAN MADE FAIR TALE. GOD IS A CRUTCH= FOR SHEEP🐏🐏🐏🐑🐑🐑
@@captainamericaamerica8090 who are we to blame God? I mean if we believe there is God, we are a mere creature and it's His plan which we can't understand. But if we don't believe in God there is no point in referring God's grace. 😊 for believers I think God's grace is needed . Sorry if I am hurting you. I don't intend to do that dear. 😊 Thanks
@@YouthConfessions You're delusional. Making up a bunch of nonsense.
Youth Confessions god isn’t ral
@Billie Eilish Fan Look in the mirror to see👀a Sheep! 🐑🐑🐑🐑😂😂
Honestly I have never visited Walt Disney World, however I used to go there this year, but now... you already know 😢
I was supposed to go there for my spring break! I'm so sad that I couldn't go anymore.
Disney: its leapyear! An extra day to make money. 🤑
Corinavirus: hold my virus.
Its sad. I was there at the last night of Magic Kingdom before it closed ‘till the end of month
oooh nooo where will I find popcorn and a drink for $75 ?
I heard that Mickey just got arrested for drunkeness in a public place.
I moved to Jacksonville, FL in 2015. My parents came to visit me a few years ago. We went to the Magic Kingdom. When we bought tickets, I asked if there was a discount for me because I lived in Florida and they said no. They were probably lying to me because I believe there is.
Life is first then entertainment
🤯I’m sure Disney (& other theme parks) has “Business Income” insurance aka “Loss of Business” Insurance... 🤯so they will see virtually no losses to their bottom lines! The only reason ones losing are the cast members/employees...sad😢
Gabriella Colleli True! However they (cast/employees) may not be getting any income, vacation pay, or even partial unemployment.... that’s what I mean by my comment.
LRL Official Disney is gonna pay its employees while its shutdown
LRL Official the employees at Disney are getting paid their regular hours while the park is closed. My sister and her husband work at Disney. It is a magical place
LRL Official oh no i understand. i just mentioned that bc my parents work there so they’re still good on pay and employment for the time being ;)
👍Great!👍 Everyone-thank you...I stand corrected... glad to hear employees will be paid while they’re shut down; _that’s_ a good company... taking care of their own!
My first statement still stands tho... that I bet these parks have some form of Loss of Income (from visitors) Insurance.
People: Yeah, let's all crowd in before they close!!!
Coronavirus: Hey, look! It's a people buffet!
Trump: I take no responsibility!
Pence: Mr. Trump, thank you for your supreme and infallible leadership!
Trump voters: Trump 2020!!
i assume they are continuing to pay their employees?
Disney said it would pay until April but no decision abour pay if they have to keep closed past April. I know this is for employees not sure what happens with contractors.
“We’re Closed. The moose should have told you out front.”
Oh gosh......how could I forget that!!!!
Chevy was hilarious!!
Marty Moose!!😂
Jbaby82 😂😂😂
I applaud them by keeping the ppl safe.
They don't need more money. This wouldn't hurt them a bit since they have billions USD already.
Fyn Kozari Yes they actually make billions a day.
These decisions show people how much you care about them and their families!
There's always Walley' s World ! (Chevy Chase movie)....😎😉😁😻
I’m supposed to go in the end of May!
Very sad but imperative to safety and welfare of others during this global.pandemic.
Save your money.
same here!
It will probably be open by then. For now, it’s the safest thing to do to control the spread of this virus.
Disneyland is better! You need 2 weeks to enjoy disneyworld. 4 days to enjoy Disneyland
so glad these tubers of Disney will be gone at least for a couple weeks!!
+skdkoc They’re acting like Disney is the only thing left in life. Sad.
😆😆😆😆
Disney can afford to close parks BIT ALSO pay their employees paid leave.
☹️ never been to disney world with my parent but maybe with a boyfriend take me there
Just another day for me😂😂
Mother nature: Don't mess with me my children!
Many others are suffering a great deal more then Disney. I’m just sayin
“If I got rid of my demons, I’d lose my angels.”
― Tennessee Williams
World is upside down when the happiest place on earth is closed. Oh Mickey. We miss you. : (
News channels are dying and I'm so happy about it
I'm hearing the parks are preparing for a longterm shut down, the two weeks they're promoting is very optimistic... at least from internal talks at Disney, the company is looking at Memorial Day for a potential opening.
Amusement parks are way to expensive anyways!
what ride is the last one ? the lady in the green tube
Wtch em raise the admission prices to the highest u can imagine!😠
My Life Insurance Is About 50 Mill Dollars So Its Ten Off Disney
If the prices weren’t so high and the food prices weren’t so high then everyone could go to Disney world.
Walt Disney himself wanted Disney to just be a place of fun and happiness
Do you know anything about Disney Parks or Walt Disney himself? Obviously you don't have a clue. When Disneyland opened people of low or middle class could barely afford Disneyland in those days. No different than today. Don't just look at ticket prices but match that with the economy during that time. Learn something before opening your trap of a mouth.
All in on the scam
It's not like they have a choice. Plus they already have too much money, closing Disneyworld wont hurt them a tiny bit.
I totally agree...
Rip! :(
Poor poor Disney... How will they survive without their overly expensive, overrated, theme park?
Millions spent on a mouse. What a beautiful surprise!
FAKE CHARACTERS THAT TEACH KIDS NOTHING...🤔🤔🤔
I remember when it ws like $20. A dy fr residents. So glad eisners gone!
Wow! $20! Now it's 1trillion...🤔🤔🤔
What about coney island?
this can only mean ticket prices will get jacked up again after April to recover their losses. and the tourists will gladly pay it. no price is to high to pay for their child's happiness.
Hope you stay safe god bless you
That's does it bring everyone down soooooo much in diseny
I was there about a week and a half with my family and i was afraid that it could spread around us and nothing happen 🤷🏻♂️
Dang i hate this stupid virus
Juicy Stim as does the rest of the world
Sorry to see disney close, we love coming to orlando. We have just lost £9000 on are trip in April ,but that will be nothing comperared to the thousands of people that will lose the jobs in orlando in the next few months
Nice. Content! Keep it up. Hope you giys are ok
! Brooklyn,New York!
Omg I wanted to go this summer
we wash Disney dry cleaning and let me tell you people in dry cleaning are freaking out because are only getting less than 4 hours because Disney was the biggest customer for dry cleaning we also do legoland linen and no sheets or duvets are coming in cutting production hours too
0:39 shout out nelk boys
RONA SZN 🍺
Mickey Mouse Loves Andy(Andrew,)
Hey where is Avril Lavigne
I'm supposed to go to Orlando on April 6th :(
Reschedule it they should refund you or give u a voucher to use at a later date
OMG !!!😱 It's the end of the world as we know it ! What will all the tourists do ???
Good on you Maiden Laura
I'm hoping it will only be a temporary shutdown and this coronavirus will pass before the summer arrives. I'm planning on going to Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and SeaWorld this summer.
a world run by crooks.
Did anyone notice the rona season shirt. Lmao
I just went last week!
Stop spreading the Corona virus
@@csick11 Stop spreading stupidity. It's the worst virus there is.
@@christopherg9391 you have no idea about the Corona virus! I was in wuhan where it started! Americans seen nothing yet in what's to come in next few weeks
@Amazing Me just because you can't afford to enjoy living doesn't mean you should be jealous
@Amazing Me beside religion, sports and war and money. Everyone needs to be healthy. Happiness from enjoying life equal good health. True?
Well You guys just made history... so? Lol
All the Disney parks are closed
After you read this post, please send prayer/healing energy throughout the world to heal from this coronavirus issue/situation/crisis. The best way to help is combine our intent/healing energies OUT into the world. Do this as long or as short as possible. But please make sure to do it. Thank you. I love you. 🙏
I am so upset they talking about the corona virus shut down both theme parks are my favorite,

Prepare for ticket prices to go up again.
Been closed a month.
Like the Mayor said they choose people safety over profits.
Eh.. Disney'll be alrightt..
It’s like going to Wally World
chevyzoner I know I think a lot of people are thinking this.
I love Disney❤
THEY HAD TO CLOSE RAN OUT OF TP FOR PUBLIC USE
It'll come back in April.
Seaworld should just not open back up .
Amen to that...they don't need the money...😕😕😕
Billion dollar??. Please!!. They ain't never gone broke. Your more worried about your stocks. You bought out marvel and star wars.. how cheap can you get!!.
